Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Accommodation | Rooms | Facilities | Contact

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has a wide range of quality facilities in unique surroundings available for meetings, conferences and lectures, as well as special occasions such as weddings. Each of the spaces available for hire offers a tranquil and peaceful backdrop, all within easy reach of Edinburgh’s city centre.

The John Hope Gateway is the newest edition to the Garden venues and offers a daytime 120 seat visitor restaurant, and in the evening – the city’s newest most stunning event space with environmental sustainability at heart. By day the Gateway offers the smaller David Douglas Room to hire for meetings or other occasions.

It is part of a £15.7 million development project, which has been designed according to principles of green construction and sustainability. With the materials used, energy saving measures and renewable energy production, The John Hope Gateway is an excellent demonstration site for promoting sustainability and includes many features such as a biomass boiler, rain water harvesting, a wind turbine, solar collectors and panels.
